"Since the army cannot be moved lightly, then the defense of Guanzhong must be even more cautious. Now that Chen Cang is personally garrisoned by a general, naturally there is no need to worry. ”

"It's just that I don't know if Wang Shuang, the guard of Wangxian County, can hold this place? And Xinping County, who should be sent there? ”

Cao Rui was not a simple person after all, and after learning that there might not be enough food and grass to support the army to calm down, he forcibly calmed himself down and began to turn his mind to defense.

Although Wang Shuang has courage, but a few years ago he was defeated by Eastern Wu, and then captured by Eastern Wu, and his prestige in the army is insufficient. The minister thought that it was best for His Majesty to send another cronie to deter the whole army. ”

Liu Fang suggested.

Cao Rui listened, nodded, and felt reasonable, so he asked, "Who can go?" ”

"Qin Lang, the general of the cavalry, is cautious by nature, and has a good military strategy, and more importantly, he has a deep enmity with Shu, and His Majesty can send him to guard Wangxian County."

Qin Lang's father, Qin Yilu, was ordered to send an envoy to Yuan Shu, who married the daughter of the Han Dynasty clan to him, and his original wife, Mrs. Du and son Qin Lang, stayed in Xiapi.

Later, Cao Cao besieged Lü Buyu in Xiapi, and Guan Yu asked to marry Du. Cao Cao saw Du's beauty and accepted himself as a concubine.

After Qin Yilu surrendered to Cao Cao, he learned about it, and he didn't dare to let go of a fart.

Later, Zhang Fei persuaded Qin Yilu to rebel against Cao with the revenge of taking his wife, and Qin Yilu ran away with Zhang Fei, but he didn't go far, and he regretted it again and wanted to return to Cao Ying.

Zhang Fei's temper couldn't bear it, so he killed him on the spot.

Therefore, Liu Fang said that Qin Lang "has a deep enmity with Shulu", and this is the reason.

Qin Lang lived in Cao's Mansion with his mother, and was liked by Cao Cao, so he made him his stepson, and he shared food and clothing with the prince in the mansion.

Qin Lang's appearance is inherited from his mother, he is very handsome, and he is cautious and low-key by nature, he has won Cao Rui's heart and often travels with Cao Rui.

Even after Cao Rui ascended the throne as emperor, every time he summoned him, he affectionately called him by his nickname "Asu".

Now when Cao Rui heard Liu Fang's recommendation of Qin Lang, his first reaction was reluctance, "Although Asu is talented, I am afraid that he is still young and difficult to convince the public." ”

"Your Majesty, General Xiaocai is a close confidant of His Majesty, and everyone knows that going to Wangxian County to unify the army shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to Wangxian, who dares to disagree?"

"Besides, Wang Shuang is quite brave, more than 200 miles south of Wangxian County is Chencang, and there is a general to rely on, even if Shu Lu came over Longshan, the general also had time to lead the army to reinforcements, what are you worried about?"

When Cao Rui heard this, he was still a little hesitant and looked at Sun Zi, "Does Sun Aiqing think so?" ”

Sun Zi nodded, "General Xiaocai has traveled all over the country for a long time, traveled among the princes, has extraordinary knowledge, and is cautious by nature, and now the most suitable leader around His Majesty is only him." ”

This time in Shu, Cao Rui originally thought that the general Cao Zhen in Guanzhong was guarding the town, and there was General Zhang Lao leading the army to reinforce him, which should be enough, so he did not transfer generals from all over the country to follow, and only brought his cronies to Chang'an.

Now that the army has lost its troops, there is no suitable candidate in the army to lead the army for a while.

Cao Rui saw that the two henchmen both recommended Qin Lang, and even if he was reluctant at the moment, he could only agree, "Okay, let Asu go." And what about Tan Binh County? ”

At the same time, he thought that Asunai was his closest person, and if he could make a contribution in the army this time, he would be promoted in the future, which would be a good thing.

"Your Majesty, now that the main force of Shu is on the right side of Longyou, Anding County is just disturbed by the chaotic people. Hebei reinforcements are coming soon, and its leader is the auxiliary general Xian Yufu. ”

"His people know the situation of the troops, and when the time comes, they only need to let him be stationed in Xinping and wait for the opportunity to move, and Guanzhong will have no worries."

Liu Fang said confidently.

Cao Rui nodded, "That's the only way." ”

Liu Fang and Sun Zi came out of the hall and walked to a no-man's land, Sun Zi asked in a low voice, "Has General Anxi ever offended you?" ”

Liu Fang shook his head, "I don't." ”

"Your Majesty will know about the grain and grass sooner or later, since he has not offended you, how can you open this mouth?"

Sun Zi asked a little puzzled.

"It's just a matter of being trusted."

Liu Fang smiled indifferently.

"Who?"

"Princess Qinghe."

When Sun Zi heard this, his eyes showed a look of horror, he gasped, looked left and right, and then asked quietly, "This eldest princess of Qinghe actually wants to harm her husband?" ”

Liu Fang and Sun Zi have worked together for many years, and the two are in charge of the same secret, and they have long established an alliance with each other, and they don't need to hide their words.

When Liu Fang heard Sun Zi's words, his face was slightly gloomy, "Xiahou Nan has been in Guanzhong for many years, and she has a lot of beautiful tricks, and the eldest princess of Qinghe has long been resentful. ”

"It's just that his people don't have a martial arts strategy, and they are good at making a living, and in the past two years, they have not only sold the grain in Guanzhong to everyone in Longyou, but even resold grain from Kanto."

"Now the army is short of food, and its people should be the first sin. Since the eldest princess of Qinghe is willing to kill her relatives in righteousness, I will push it in the back, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the country. ”

As soon as the two of them said this, they saw someone running in front of them in a hurry, who was not Xiahou Nanzhi?

The two sides passed by, each saluted and said goodbye, looking at Xiahou Nan's back, Liu Fang and Sun Zi looked at each other and smiled.

After everyone else had gone away and confirmed that no one could hear them, Sun Zi asked softly again, "Qin Lang has been temporarily transferred away from His Majesty's side, and there is still Cao Zhao, what should I do?" ”

"This matter is not urgent, Cao Xiu, the father of Cao Zhao, is now the Great Sima, and he can be regarded as the first important minister of the Great Wei, let's avoid its edge for the time being, and then look for opportunities later."

Liu Fang's eyes flashed with essence, and he said slowly.

"That's the only way to do it."

Sun Zi nodded.

At the same time, Xiahou Nan entered the hall and just made a salute, "Xiahou Nan has seen Your Majesty." ”

I could hear the emperor's implicit anger and ask, "Xiahou Nan, let me ask you, how much grain is there in Guanzhong now?" ”

When Xiahou Nan heard this, he only felt a loud "buzz" in his ears, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Seeing that Xiahou Nan's face was pale and he didn't dare to look up at himself, Cao Rui finally confirmed what Liu Fang said, picked up the inkstone on the case and smashed it, and asked angrily, "I asked you how much grain you have in the Guanzhong Mansion now!" ”

The sharp corner of the inkstone hit Xiahou Nan's forehead, and the blood flowed down at once.

Xiahou Nan didn't dare to hide, but just lay on the ground, his body trembling.

"Your Majesty is angry, the minister has already ordered people to buy grain from the Kanto side, and now they are stepping up to transport it......"

"Is this what I'm asking?"

Cao Rui stood up suddenly, rushed to Xiahou Nan, and kicked it out, hitting Xiahou Nan's heart and kicking him over.

I saw Cao Rui's face was extremely hideous, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What I asked is how long the grain and grass in Guanzhong can be supplied to the army now!" ”

The troops in front were insufficient, and there was the defeat of Wudu, so they didn't care about the stability of the people.

Now that the Kwantung reinforcements have arrived, Shuyu's attention is all on Longyou, and there is no time to look eastward, it is the best moment to pacify and stabilize the civil unrest, but he is bound by grain and grass.

When the grain from Kanto comes over, Longyou will be gone for a long time, not to mention, I am afraid that the stability will be owned by Shuyu!

Cao Rui thought of this, only felt that after he arrived in Chang'an, his luck was really bad to the extreme, but even his uncle, who was a royal clansman, had to drag his feet, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked it violently at the moment.

Xiahou Nan only felt that his eyes were black, his throat was sweet, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with blood.
